Just under three weeks ago Yenari had a baby shower where we had her buddies and some of my buddies over to celebrate the expanding belly and the impending baby.  We had a great time…lots of tastey food, good conversation, and…presents!  Here’s the mother to be opening one up:

After showing everyone how much we both can eat we decided to up the ante with a Korean blueberry chiffon cake from Paris Baguette …mmmm….

Unfortunately I did a bad job with the camera in this party, so I didn’t get a group shot with everyone, but this captures part of the crowd during dessert:

And here’s another shot of Yenari with some of her buddies from nursing school:

We had a really great time having everyone over and definitely scored some awesome baby clothes, toys, and medical stuff – gotta expect the medical stuff from a party where every other person is a nurse!  Thanks to everyone for coming and for all the great stuff!  Special thanks to Grace (and Burt) for helping with the invitations, decorations, and setup!

Work Baby Shower!

Having had such a good time at the coed ‘friend’ baby shower, Yenari was pumped to go to her work baby shower just two days later.  A bunch of Yenari’s co-workers (along with their babies) got together at one of their houses to celebrate Yenari and the coming baby.  I wasn’t there, but from what I heard it was a lot of fun and was another goldmine for cute and adorable baby girl stuff!  Here are a bunch of photos of Yenari and her coworkers:

Note from Yenari: Special thanks to Rowena for hosting the party and thanks to everyone for coming and bringing all the yummy pot-luck food and all of the adorable baby presents!
